Oh, no. That had nothing to do with your problem, just in terms of being safe after getting rid of Norton. At least Java 7 right now has some extremely severe vulnerabilities being exploited and we haven't heard if Oracle will fix them before October.

My money is on a busted modem SayWhat. You can try checking with your ISP, sometimes they can correct things from their end. You can try messing with DHCP settings, or assigning static IPs for all your devices. If you're already using static IPs, I would strongly suggest removing them if favor of automatic addressing. If you're using a modem/router combo you might not need to replace it, but just add to it instead. My Modem is very bad at establishing connections, but it can maintain them very well. So I attatched a third party router to that, and it handles all the various connections itself, works like a charm. You can get a basic N router for like $20 on amazon.

Working quite well. Thanx. I really appreciate the help. I've been using Norton/Symantic products since the '80s and this is the first time I've had a major problem with them. As soon as I uninstalled the Norton 360, the laptop was back to normal. Again, my thanx.
